This online system allows you to purchase a Mussel Fee Sticker (also known as a Quagga Sticker). Unless used exclusively in marine (salt) waters or specifically exempted by law, owners of motorized recreational vessels used in freshwater are mandated by law to display a current sticker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fee for the sticker is $16 and expires at the same time as the vessel registration renewal sticker. Failure to properly display the sticker on your vessel may result in a citation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instructions on how to properly affix the Mussel Fee sticker to the hull of the vessel, please see our Frequently Asked Questions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
